1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The Mesopelagic Mesozooplankton and Micronekton Database (MMMD) compiles quantitative data on the distribution and density of mesopelagic (200-1000 m) mesozooplankton and micronekton (0.2-20 mm and 20-200 mm) species, using 258 published and unpublished sources spanning from 1880 to 2016. This extensive dataset includes 266,611entries, covering a broad temporal, spatial range and diel changes with varying levels of completeness. The data were standardized to address inconsistencies in sampling methods, mesh sizes, and taxonomic classifications. Despite some limitations, including gaps in spatial and depth coverage, the database provides a valuable resource for the mesopelagic macro-ecological research, which is updatable. Comparisons with existing databases underscore its unique contributions to the study of mesopelagic ecosystems.
